Description

Two large, roughly rounded stone blocks lie on a dusty excavated surface, one split by a diagonal crack. Around them are rows of rubble stones and a low mound of broken masonry on the right, with dark hollows in the soil. No people are present, and a thin metal stake stands at the right edge.
